Having trouble with a 21" Hitachi cm820 PC monitor for my mame cab. Every now and then, especially when trying to install Golden Tee PC, the monitor shuts down and reads "Invalid Sync". Here are my system specs:
98SE
AMD XP 2000+
K7S8Xseries Motherboard
512 DDR 2700 Ram
20 Gig HD
ATI 7500 64mb Video Card
I have am in the process of downloading all the drivers for the video card, motherboard, monitor, and Win 98SE updates today at work and will try these tonight, but I wanted to know if anyone has run into this problem before?
I have tried changing the resolution of the montor-didn't help.
Any ideas welcome

Try taking the refresh rate down to 60Hz... It sounds like the GoldenTee install is trying to set a different (higher) resolution, and if your monitor can't handle the higher resolution with the refresh rate. I've run into simular, but not recently, usually when I had the refresh rate set high for 640x480 and the program tried 800x600 (to test the video modes for the game)
Another possiblity is your computer crashed hard[/i] and the video output went beserk.

Tom61, I thought about that also. That was my next move, but it appears that one of the drivers solved the problem. My guess is that is was an updated driver for the monitor, but I don't know for sure. Anyway, it works. Thanks for the advice.
